Came with the boat. It's original and was redone 20 years ago. It needs to be done again.
Thanks everyone on your comments and hope you had a good first day Pantera24.

I had no idea of the effort that you were making. What a project! I was hoping that you would reinstall the warp plate tabs. It is necessary to suck one up and the other down at full throttle. As to the doubters of the tandem principle, I won the 1967 Miami-Nassau with the same setup. As far as synchronization is concerned, if either engine will run faster in neutral than the other will run "in gear", then they both will contribute. No problem. Again, I am overwhelmed at your effort.

Thank you sir.
As I’m sure you know, every picture tells a story on its own and some are long ones. (anyone wants to read the story www.SuperNova24.com)
No matter what there was a couple things I had to keep in the boat. One was the ballast tank in the front and to get it to work. The second is the tabs with the Cessna airplane actuators. I was hoping I could get them to work. Having some small issues but it shouldn’t take long to work out the bugs. I hope.
From the day I saw it 5 years ago and then kept it secrete from most I knew I wanted it. When I got it, it was all there but it was a shell. Lucky with the shell it did come with a few of the must have parts. From there it’s been a daily eBay hunt and using what I learned with the 19 and other boats.
It’s ready to go. Scott needs to finish the V drive and then its just setting the motors and plugging them in. Sadly we have that dreaded thing called winter in this part of the country. It’s 65* today but that’s above normal and I think I’m going to miss the finish line by just a hair this year.
It will get done by the St Michaels boat show next year if I have to drag it. Between me and you, a 73 WellCraft Nova won 1st prize in the Fiberclassic award this year.
Wait until they got a load of this.(he says in his best Jack Nicholson voice)

The boat looks awsome and there was ertainly a TON of work done and some great Ideas incorporated into it.

Thats got to be one functional boat you have there because it was all well thought out.
